My restore command is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
restore_command = 'pg_standby -l -d -s 5 -w 0 -t /tmp/
pgsql.promote_trigger.5432 ~postgres/incoming_wal %f %p %r 2>&1 |
logger -p local1.info -t pitr-standby'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see I didn't set -k to keep fixed number of WALs, but %r
parameter and the PostgreSQL controls number of keeped files
automatically (or at least it should)
